Just got back from the track and ran my personal best. I would have scanned the slip but my scanner is broke. Anyway heres the slip.

R/T: .715
60': 2.146
330: 6.209
1/8: 9.573
MPH: 72.10
1000: 12.485
1\4: 14.981
MPH: 90.05

My trap speed sucked compared to my last time at the track. The only differences from the last time are I took out my passenger seat instead of just my back seats and installed a budget high flow cat. My first runs were 15.8's when the car was still hot from driving there. I bought ice on the way to the track to help cool the car down. I think letting the car cool down with the ice was one of the best things i could have done. After it sat for about and hour and a half i ran 15.0 then a 14.9 an hour later. I still think I should have done a little bit better but I got my goal of 14's. Here is the video. http://media.putfile.com/Ajcool2s-14-Second-run

 

All you have is a ypipe pretty much and you ran a 14 second drag. Damn...

 

Intake/HI-Flow cat/Y-pipe

Not bat at all. Trap is kinda low. What were you using for tires and rims?

 

how in the world....ur slip makes my slip look funny

 

his slip makes mine look funny too, my 14.9 times were at something like 93-94 mph

 

wow that's a pretty good 60' time for a 4th gen NA auto 3.0.

 

Nice run man. Did you manual shift it? torque brake?

 

well, i meant my 1/8 mile speed only slower by 1-2 mph but my 1/4 mile time is slower by more than a second and 7mph lower, lol. its just crazy! my car suks

 

2004 maxima auto 14.9 with intake and 13.8 with 75 shot wet nitro

 

Yeah I dont know what happened to my trap. My last time at the track I ran a 15.01 @ 93.5. I dont know what would make my trap low like that. I had sawblades and falken zeix 512 which really need to be replaced asap.

 

Thanks. Yeah I manual shifted it as close to 6500 as I could and torque braked it at 1500.

 

wow your in my neck of woods too . Moroso huh?

 

Good job buddy, welcome to the auto 14 second club. Looks like you had the same setup i had when i ran my first 14.9 with my auto. My personal best is now a 14.8.

 

Thanks. I read alot of the info you posted on here and learned alot. When I saw your times and the mods you had I figured if you can do it I can too. Hopefully I can get 14.8 the next time out.

 

I second that. 2.14 on street tires with a lightly modded auto is

 

Thanks. I think doing a burnout had something to do with it. Usually I dont do a burnout at all but this time I decided I would try it. The first time I did a burnout I got a 2.16 and ran a 15.1 then a 2.161 and ran a 15.06. When I didnt do one i got 2.31, 2.27 and 2.30.

 

I thought doing waterbox burnouts with street tires was a no no.

 

Yeah thats what I heard too and I never did it until those three runs. I tryed to avoid the waterbox but one of my tires always went through. So I decided to do the burnout to burn off anywater that might have been on that tire.

 

thats a raging discussion with people on either side that dont understand the other side. but i like the burnout style

you make my 60' look embarrassing. a 2.25 as opposed to your 2.14, i might need some pointers in the future.

 

wen u did ur burnout, by any chance did u neutral drop it? or just hit the gas?

 

> you

 

i meant when he did his burnout....

 

dude awesome. im gonna try taking out my seats as well next time i go, i pray to make it to 14.

 

Yeah I did the my burnout the same as if I was launching at the line.

 

Good stuff mate!

There's hope for me yet.

 

Thanks man. I'm sure you'll be in the 14's soon.

 

Mate, I just watched your video - INSPIRATIONAL!

Loving the burnout and your launch mate...way to cut a light. And yes, I'm glad you handed that FAT s**t Z it's porky bum.

SWEET!

 

lol Yeah man I got alot of surprises that day. I beat a turbo charged WRX too. I couldnt beleive it. I'll post that vid up later.

 

i hope to hit 14's this year too, got 2001 engine and 16 in rx7 rims. I gonna go first with full seats, never been to track. Good job nice run.

 

so how do you go about torque braking? ive tired to spin my tires but i can't get it to work right. so what you hold the brake give it gas then let off the brake or you use the ebrake?

 

Basically what I did was go through the waterbox just a little bit and got one of my tires wet. Then I stopped and held the brake to the floor and held the gas at 1500rpm. Then floored it and let go of the brake at the same time. Other people may do it different though. My ebrake doesnt work so that one reason I do it this way. Also that was the first time I've ever made smoke come from my tires like that.

 

Did you put it in first gear to keep it from shifting during the burn out?

 

Yeah.

10char

 

NO need for burnout on street tires.....

 

It's great fun and it can't hurt to do a burn out - even on streets.

 

that's amazing...some 5 spds aren't even running that.

When i go to the track this week, i'll be sure to beat your time, at least ATTEMPT to.

Congrats again.

 

LOL Thanks. Dont worry I am going to beat it this weekend after I get my car dynoed and tuned. Right now the record in the DC section is 14.8 for an n/a auto and thats what I'm shooting for.

 

Pretty nice run man!

 

Im waiting to buy a 4th Gen. maxima now and i'll post my slip in couple days. Ill beat your time! ......I'll try

 

lol good luck. Its always nice to see other fast auto maxes.
